The observer reporter printed my letter to the editor today which I am very grateful for. I feel it's important for everyone to be discussing accessibility and inclusion.
When I speak to college students I challenge them to become "Mobility Ambassadors". The fact is you do not have to have a disability to care about accessibility. I challenge the students to speak up for inclusion and accessibility when they see a problem.
How many times are you out and patronizing a restaurant, retail establishment etc. that is not accessible? Ask to speak to the manager, discuss the inaccessibility of the establishment and be an agent of change.
If we all spoke out about accessibility issues and the right to be included this world would be a much better place, at least for me.
